Seat Ibiza Turn Signal Issue

I am experiencing an issue with my 2023 Seat Ibiza, gasoline engine. The vehicle has approximately 59830 km. I am getting an error message related to the turn signal lamp. Specifically, there is an error stored in the error memory, and an error message is displayed in the speedometer. I've noticed a fault in the automotive lighting. I suspect the cable or plug connection of the component may be defective, perhaps due to a broken lens. Has anyone experienced something similar, and can offer some insights? The light is extremely dim, and sometimes doesn't work at all.

Summary of the thread

A 2023 Seat Ibiza owner reported an issue with the turn signal lamp, receiving an error message on the speedometer and noticing dim or non-functional lighting. The suspected causes included a defective cable or plug connection, possibly due to a broken lens. Suggestions included checking the bulb, connectors, and housing for damage or electrical faults. The issue was resolved by confirming a broken lens and defective connections, leading to a successful repair at a workshop.

Sounds like an electrical fault to me. I had a similar issue with my Ibiza a while back. The turn signal would sometimes work, sometimes not. Check the bulb itself first, then look at the connectors. Is the bulb housing damaged at all?

Thanks for the input. When you say connectors, do you mean where the bulb plugs into the housing, or further back in the wiring? And how would I know if the bulb housing is damaged? I don't see any obvious cracks or anything. When you mention 'electrical fault', what exactly are you referring to? What does it mean, in simple terms?

Yeah, the connectors are where the bulb plugs into the housing. Give them a wiggle and see if anything changes. By housing, I mean the whole plastic bit that holds the bulb. If it's been bumped or something, it might have a crack you can't see easily that's letting water in and shorting things out. 'Electrical fault' is just a general term for something wrong with the electrics – could be a loose wire, a short circuit, or a dodgy connection somewhere. If you're not confident, I'd say get it checked out by a workshop. Automotive lighting can be tricky.

Took the Ibiza to the shop as suggested. They confirmed the broken lens issue, and the electrical fault in the turn signal. The cable and plug connection were indeed defective, just as suspected. Glad it was a relatively cheap fix, cost me 95€. Thanks for your help!
